Don Carlos

Giuseppe Verdi

Father and son in love with the same woman, the struggle for freedom, a lonely king, and the conflict between the powers of heaven and earth – Verdi used these ingredients to create a magnificently dramatic grand opera.

Don Carlos is a dark story about longing for freedom, doomed love, and politics. The Finnish National Opera’s latest production adds added flavour to the opera’s tone with a Goth staging. The music with its incredible arias for the bass voice is Verdi at his finest.
